The video is a DIY tutorial on building a rustic nightstand using three 2x4s. The creator starts by cutting the 2x4s into various pieces for the top, legs, side panels, and back panel. They use pocket holes to assemble the pieces and create a rustic look by distressing the wood with a jigsaw and Sawzall. The creator then sands the wood with a high-grit sandpaper to smooth out the surface while maintaining the character of the distressed wood. Finally, they apply a pre-stained conditioner, Early American stain, and polyacrylic to finish the nightstand. The total cost of the project is around $15.
